The Storm.

From our dispatches we gather that the
storm of the past three days has been the
most severe of any for the past ten years.
1t has been general throughout the terri
tory and has created an alarm among the
stockmen which the previous storms of
this winter have not done. AT Assinni-
boine the temperature at 2 o'clock to-day
was 42o below zero, with gale blowing
from the north. The same condition of
things is reported at Shaw and Helena.
This storm is unprecedented. Never in
the remembrance of the Oldest inhabitant
has such intense cold been accompanied
by high wind. The result will be i'm
mense losses OF stock, unless the chinook
should set in to clear the ranges of snow
and enable the cattle to feed. 1t need oc-
casion no surprise if further reports bring
news of loss of life.

THE COMMISSION.
The Good Work Being Done by Them in
Northern Montana.

The Indian commissioners arrived last
Tuesday from Fort Belknap where they
completed treaty with the Assinaboine
and Gros Ventre Indians, which will be
generally satisfactory. The lines of the
proposed reservation have been given, as
also the general stipulations Of the treaty.
The Gros Ventres wanted larger tract of
land, to extend SO as to include a portion
of the Bear Paw mountains, but this
point the commissioners would not con-
cede, ald the boundaries were settled on
the basis offered by the commission.
While the commission were doing their
utmost for a satisfactory arrangement
which would meet with general approval !,
they were not unmindful of the rights of
about 900, 600 acres of the best land on
Milk river between Assinaboine and Bu-
ford. Judge Wright said that their labors
would be completed in time to make re-
port before the adjournment of the present
congress, on the 4th Of March. No time
has been lost and their report will 90 in
as soon as their labors with the BIackfeet
are concluded. The gentlemen compris-
ing the commission have been indefatiga-
BILE in their efforts to conclude the work.
For more than five months they have been
on the move, and their energy will be ap'
preciated by our people. The work with
the Blackfeet will be to assign them lands
not adjacent to the boundary. The trac
which it is proposed to cede to them il
that included between Cut Bank an(
Birch creeks, bounded on the west by the
main range and is exactly the one sug
gested by the RIVER PRESS several weeks
ago, and will no doubt prove satisfactory
| to the Indians.

souEn CaroIina's PhOsphates.

The phosphate rock bed of South Car
DINA now supplies the world with the
chief part of all the phosphate of lime
used in the manufacture of commercial
fertilizers, and this industry was un-
known there until 1868 The greatest
length of this phosphate rock bed is
about seventy miles, the city of Charles
ton being about the center of the most
accessible deposits. 1t crops out at the
surface in many places, and is found dis
tributed over large areas at the bottom of
many of the rivers.
It is mined in three ways, by open
quarrying and digging in the land; by
dredging and graphing with powerful
steam machines in deep water; by hand
picking and with tongs in shallow
streams Its average price is about $50 a
ton, and the state levies tax of 81 ton
on all that is shipped making it an i'm
portant item OF revenue. These phos-
pilates are the remains of very ancient an

A PECULIAR ART INDUSTRY.
Modelling I'm Pulp Which Afterward Re-
sembles Metal or Wood.
philadelphia Times.1

philadelphia Times
A peculiar industry is carried on at the.
New Central theatre during the time the
house has been closed. A young artist,
James Franck, has been engaged in pro
ducIng papier mache plaques and panels
to be used throughout the country for
advertising purposes. The process, while
not exactly novel, has never before been
applied to such practical uses, and it is
the latest instance of how art has been
subserved to business purposes. The work
can be given the appearance of a number
of substances, such as stone metal, or
wood, and some of it is of a high grade of
excellence.
The studio or workshop is situated up
in the flies. The materials are few in
number, exclusive of those used in fin
1shing, being simply clay plaster of Paris,
and rough brown paper, such as is used
IN hardware stores for wrapping pur-
poses The clay employed in the first or
artistic stage of the work, in modelling of
the the figures or designs to be repro
duced in papier mache. The plaster of
Paris is used to make the molds and the
paper is the basis of the finished product
The design being made in clay, the plaster
is poured over il, and what might be
called a negative produced. Upon each
of the negatives or mods the paper is
built up until proper thickness has been
secured Then the pulp is allowed to dry
in the sun or is dried by means of artif-
cial heat when it is removed from the
mold. At this stage it appears like rough
stamped leather. After the edges have
been trimmed and surface smOothed,
paints and bronzed powders are applied
until the desired ELECTS are produced.
The work throughout requires great
skill, and in the first and last stages
artistic talent of no small order. The
laying of the paper is the simplest por-
ton of the process.
The artist having to produce copies in
high relief and his molds being of very
uneven surface, begins by filing in the
sharp outlines with small pieces of paper
which have been soaked in water until
they are in a pulpy condition. The
whole surface of the mold is filled with
one thickness of this paper, a stiff brush
or small tool being used to press 1t into
the finer parts Next a coating of rye
flour paste is applied and then more
paper This is continued until the thick
ness of about an eighth of an inch has
been secured, after which the material is
allowed to dry, when 1t can be removed,
a perfect copy of the mold. When
painted, bronzed, and otherwise orna-
mented according to the design the work
presents the solid appearance of metal or
wood. While it is extremely light 1t is
durable and will stand almost any amount
of hard USAGE.

Inoubator-Hatohed Chickens.

The latest charge against incubator
Matched chickens comes from the cooks
of the Saratoga hotels, and is that they
are tough and stringy. The incubator
broods are fed upon corn meal and boiled
potatoes instead of their natural diet OF
pr,,bs and worms. and are kept in CON
Ffracted and dirty quarters, which is held
to account for the inferior flavor.
